where are you from?

I LOVE Blackadder. Mr Bean is good too for different reasons.

Rowan Atkinson hasn't had a good role/tv series in ages.. I think he's kind of dropped off, now.

there are certain british shows that are shown here in the states that just make me laugh..

fawlty towers,
mr bean
blackadder
are you being served?
(don't remember the name) Rowan Atkinson's Cop show..

i don't get yes prime minister, or allo allo..or the one about the woman priest..

then you're one of the special americans.

purplerein said:

don't know about that one though...

mrdespues said:

I think that's the one about the department store...it's very funny..


Manuel...yes Meester Fawlty?

purplerein said:

oh no, i know what show it is, but if you know english humour or culture at all, you should know also that "i don't know about that one, though" could also mean that i don't like it.




Faulty Towers on the other hand...

purplerein said:

vicar of dibley? i like that one. it's very schmaltzy, but what can i say. dawn french makes me laugh.

i don't really "get" rowan atkinson. he seems to do what he does very well, but it's like tim allen back when he was popular. people seem to be laughing at this person but i don't know why.

have you seen blackadder, anx? that's where it's at.. the mr bean stuff doesn't take a lot of brain to laugh at, tho i like that too because i don't always have a lot of brain.

mrdespues said:

yeah, i've seen blackadder. that show kind of reminds me of the geeky friends i had in high school who went to ren faires and used to try to make me listen to stories they read about sexual deviancy in medieval times or some shit. well-meaning and friendly enough, but oh my GOD so annoying. rik mayall was on that show sometimes and i love him, even when he's on something i don't particularly like.

CHRISTMAS SOCKS!

I love this F'in show and I have them all on VHS tape!

I love both shows.

With Rowan Atkinson, aside from Blackadder, it's ALL about Not The Nine o'Clock News!

Anx said:

WOOF!

I like watching Mr. Bean, the things he gets up to cracks me up

I watch alot of Brit-coms. My favorites:

The Office
Absolutely Fabulous (and anything French and Saunders)
The Vicar of Dibley
Are you being Served?
Keeping Up Appearances
As Time Goes By
Footballer's Wive$

Some of my favourite brit-coms are:
Black Books
Fast Show (sketch comedy)
Monty Python (sketch comedy)
Fawlty Towers
Dad's Army

and it's not really meant to be a comedy but I LOVE the Grumpy Old Men/Women series.

i like mr. bean, i LOVE black adder.

i am a whore for brit-coms

The biggest problem with these shows is the millions of people walking the planet, who either completely miss, or forget the joke but feel that so long as they do "the funny voice" and bitch about a dead parrot or some such that they are being clever
